ABSTRACT

A compliant personal care composition can include i) from about 20% to about 80%, by weight of the composition, of a surfactant; and ii) from about 3% to about 40%, by weight of the composition, of a water insoluble hygroscopic fiber, fine, or filament; wherein the composition has a compliance value of about 0.01 kg/mm to about 1.5 kg/mm or before a simulated use. The composition may also be at least partially surrounded by a substrate and in the form of an article.

FIELD

The present application is directed to personal care compositions andarticles.

BACKGROUND

Cleansing is an activity that has been done for many years. Over time,cleansing has involved the use of compositions such as bar and liquidsoaps, body washes, shampoos, conditioners, liquid and/or soliddetergents, and the like. For these compositions, consumers desire goodcleansing properties and lathering characteristics, mildness toward thetarget surface, like skin, fabric, or hard surface, and the ability toprovide benefit agents to the target surface.

Some cleansing has been done with rigid cleansing compositions, like barsoap. These rigid forms can be difficult for the consumer to handle,especially when wet. Also, they are difficult to use directly on thetarget area for cleansing as the contact surface area of the bar soap islimited by the shape of the target surface.

To enhance a consumer's experience, such cleansing compositions can alsobe coupled with implements such as a washcloth, a sponge, or a puff. Forexample, many consumers dispense liquid soaps or body washes onto a puffand then cleanse by applying the puff to their skin and/or hair.Similarly, many consumers rub bar soaps with a washcloth and thencleanse by applying the washcloth to their skin and/or hair.Additionally, many consumers apply cleansing compositions to sponges toclean hard surfaces.

Although a consumer's experience with a cleansing composition can beenhanced by coupling the cleansing composition with an implement, todate, such an experience has not been completely ideal. For example,coupling such cleansing compositions with an implement tends to lead toclutter in the kitchen, shower, or bath as a consumer needs to carry orstore cumbersome bottles, bars, jars, and/or tubes of cleansing productsand implements. Additionally, coupling requires the user to performadditional steps like applying the body wash or soap on the implementand then rubbing or wiping the implement on the target surface ratherthan just applying the body wash and/or soap directly to the targetsurface. As such, more water tends to be consumed increasing the wasteand carbon footprint of the consumer.

Further, certain personal cleansing compositions, such as bar soaps, canhave difficulty providing the consumer with the desired deposition ofbenefit agents, even when coupled with an implement. Some attempts havebeen made to combine an implement with a personal cleansing compositionin a personal care article. However, these executions were not ideal.For example, one such article included a non-compliant bar soap coupledwith an implement. The rigidity of this type of execution does notconform to the surface to which it is applied making it difficult tothoroughly clean the target surface.

Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide a compliant personal carecomposition and or article having desirable cleansing properties,including suitable lathering and rinsing characteristics.

Personal Care Compositions

Personal care compositions come in many forms. One of the more commonforms is bar soap. Bar soap is generally non-compliant and rigid. Therigidity of most bar soaps make them difficult to grip making it moredifficult to use during cleansing. Rigid bar soaps also have thedisadvantage in that only the small part of the surface which directlycontacts the skin can be used for cleansing and this surface area islimited by the bar's non-compliant nature. Conventional rigid bar soaphas a compliance value of about 2.5 kg/mm or above.

On the other hand, compliant personal care compositions can bend to somedegree to more fully contact the target surface, like the body. This canallow for easier handling of the composition by the consumer and moreefficient cleansing. For example, if a compliant personal carecomposition is originally flat with no curve, when applied to an arm forcleansing there would be some amount of bend to better fit to the arm.Likewise, if the composition's shape has a small amount of a curve, whenapplied to the arm the composition would bend to some degree to morefully contact the arm. Oppositely, if the original personal carecomposition is curved such that it would not need to bend to fit to acurved surface like the arm, then it would bend to straighten whenapplied to a less curved surface like an abdomen.

A challenge when trying to formulate compliant personal carecompositions is first formulating for the right amount of compliance.The compositions need to be able to be manipulated by the user with anacceptable amount of effort. This acceptable level of compliance wasfound to be from about 0.01 kg/mm to about 1.5 kg/mm. Additionalexamples of suitable compliance values include from about 0.03 kg/mm toabout 1.0 kg/mm; about 0.10 kg/mm to about 0.75 mm/kg; about 0.10 kg/mmto about 0.6 kg/mm; about 0.05 kg/mm to about 0.5 kg/mm; or about 0.10kg/mm to about 0.30 kg/mm.

Another challenge when formulating compliant compositions is the abilityto maintain an acceptable compliance through the life of thecomposition. As some reusable compliant personal carecompositions/articles experience repeated wetting and then dryingprocesses, the compositions can become hard or rigid, see ComparativeExample C1 (below) which has a compliance before a simulated use of 0.52kg/mm and 30 minutes after one simulated use of 0.32 kg/mm, but at 50.5hours after the one simulated use the compliance value reaches 1.63kg/mm. Thus, the benefits of a compliant composition can be lost afteronly a single or a few uses resulting in consumer dissatisfaction.Without being limited by theory, this is believed to at least be causedin part by the loss of moisture from the composition which can cause thecomposition to crack into domains as it dries. This cracking exposes theinterior to even more rapid water loss which only exacerbates theproblem over time.

One way of looking at whether a composition or article can likelymaintain its compliance through the life of an article is to see whetherthe composition or article has an acceptable compliance level, as notedabove, after repeated simulated uses. For example, the composition orarticle can have an acceptable compliance, after 10 simulated uses, 12simulated uses, 15 simulated uses, 20 simulated uses, or 25 simulateduses. In one example, the composition or article can have a compliancevalue of 0.01 kg/mm to about 1.5 kg/mm after 12 hours of drying after 15simulated uses. In another example, the composition or article can havea compliance value of about 0.10 kg/mm to about 0.75 kg/mm after dryingfor 12 hours after 10 simulated uses.

In addition, another factor to consider when developing an acceptablecomposition or article is its compliance after a long period of non-use.Some compositions or articles can lose their compliance after longperiods with no exposure to water, so it can be helpful to also look atwhether a composition or article has an acceptable compliance level whenmeasured 48 hours after the last use.

One solution to these problems has surprisingly been the use ofhygroscopic filaments in the composition. Hygroscopic filaments are madeof fibers and fines. Without wishing to be limited by theory, it isbelieved the fibers and fines can work together to form a network. Thisis believed to be contributed to, in part, by the length and aspectratio of the fibers. The ability to form a network may be an importantfeature in order to minimize the common tendency of materials to crackwhen they lose solvent (water drying). Solvent loss causes dimensionalchanges with materials due to the loss of solvent volume. Thecomposition tends to therefore shrink, crack, or change its density.Shrinking and cracking are common in coatings when solvent is lost, theresult of the internal stress created as the solvent volume is lost. Itis more desirable for a composition to shrink (which is a flow, or itacts as a viscous material to relax the stress) instead of crack (whichis an elastic behavior, not a flow). Cracking opens up fissures allowingeven faster solvent loss throughout the composition. Without wishing tobe limited by theory, we believe the filament may not allow cracking tooccur due to long range order, i.e., network behavior.

The aspect ratio of a fiber describes the relationship between thelength and diameter of the fiber and is calculated by dividing end toend length by diameter. Aspect ratios acceptable for fibers used hereincan include those above about 9, above about 9.5, above about 10, aboveabout 100, above about 1000, above about 10,000, to about 100, to about500, to about 1000, to about 10,0000, to about 100,000, to about300,000, or any combination thereof.

It is also believed that the hygroscopic water insoluble nature offilaments can further contribute to maintaining compliance upon repeateduse. Hygroscopic filaments are water loving or hydrophilic by chemistryso may help to retain water in the composition. Additionally, by beingwater insoluble, certain filaments can remain in the composition evenafter exposure to water enabling them to continue contributing theproperties of the composition through multiple uses instead ofdissolving away. Other filaments may partially or fully dissolve duringuse enabling them to provide order to the composition and providesoluble components that may help plasticize the composition. It may bebeneficial for filaments or portions of the filaments to exit an articleduring use. For example, filaments may exit the article through pores inthe substrate and this may work to enhance scrubbing or to give theappearance the article is being depleted as the composition is used overtime.

Another property that can have an impact on granular compositions is theangle of repose. The angle of repose is a measure of the flow ability ofthe particles in a granular composition and can impact processing of agranular composition. The angle of repose can be, for example, less thanabout 60° as measured by ASTM D6393.

Personal care compositions can be in the form of a soft solid. Personalcare compositions can comprise a surfactant; and a hygroscopic fine, ahygroscopic fiber, or a combination thereof (i.e. a hygroscopicfilament). The composition can include, for example, from about 1% toabout 99.5%, or from about 10% to about 70%, or from about 20% to about80%, or from about 20% to about 50%, by weight of the composition, of asurfactant or a mixture of surfactants. A surfactant can be, forexample, in the form of a solid powder.

Suitable synthetic surfactants for a personal care composition include,for example, sulfates, sulfonates, alkyl sulfates, linear alkylsulfates, branched alkyl sulfates, linear alkyl ether sulfates, branchedalkyl ether sulfates, linear alkyl sulfonates, branched alkylsulfonates, linear alkyl ether sulfonates, branched alkyl ethersulfonates, alkyl aromatic sulfates, alkyl aromatic sulfonates,isethionates, cocoamide monoethanolamine, cocoamidopropyl betaine,glucosides, decyl glucoside, lauryl glucoside, or a combination thereof.

Some additional suitable synthetic surfactants include, for example,anionic, nonionic, cationic, zwitterionic, amphoteric surfactants, orcombinations thereof. For example, the synthetic surfactant can comprisean anionic surfactant. The anionic surfactant can be branched or linear.Examples of suitable linear anionic surfactants include ammonium laurylsulfate, ammonium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laurethsulfate, potassium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl sarcosinate, sodiumlauroyl sarcosinate, sodium lauroyl isethionate, sodium cocoylisethionate, lauryl sarcosine, cocoyl sarcosine, ammonium cocoylsulfate, potassium lauryl sulfate, or combinations thereof.

The synthetic surfactant can also comprise sodium laureth(n) sulfate,hereinafter SLEnS, and/or sodium trideceth(n) sulfate, hereinafter STnS,where n defines the average moles of ethoxylation. The n for the SLEnSand/or the STnS can range from about 0 to about 8, from about 1 to about3, about 2, or about 1. It will be understood that a material such asSLEnS or STnS can comprise a significant amount of molecules having noethoxylate, 1 mole ethoxylate, 2 mole ethoxylate, 3 mole ethoxylate, andso on in a distribution which can be broad, narrow, or truncated. Forexample, SLE1S can comprise a significant amount of molecules which haveno ethoxylate, 1 mole ethoxylate, 2 mole ethoxylate, 3 mole ethoxylate,and so on in a distribution which can be broad, narrow, or truncated andstill comprise SLE1S where an average distribution can be about 1.Similarly, ST2S can comprise a significant amount of molecules whichhave no ethoxylate, 1 mole ethoxylate, 2 mole ethoxylate, 3 moleethoxylate, and so on in a distribution which can be broad, narrow, ortruncated and still comprise ST2S, where an average distribution can beabout 2.

The synthetic surfactant can also comprise one or more branched anionicsurfactants and monomethyl branched anionic surfactants such as sodiumtrideceth sulfate, sodium tridecyl sulfate, sodium C12-13 alkyl sulfate,C12-13 pareth sulfate, sodium C12-13 pareth-n sulfate, or combinationsthereof.

As described above, the synthetic surfactant can comprise a nonionicsurfactant. Nonionic surfactants for use in the composition can include,for example, those selected from the group consisting of alkylglucosides, alkyl polyglucosides, polyhydroxy fatty acid amides,alkoxylated fatty acid esters, sucrose esters, amine oxides, or mixturesthereof.

The synthetic surfactant can also comprise a cationic surfactant.Cationic surfactants for use in a composition include, but are notlimited to, fatty amines, di-fatty quaternary amines, tri-fattyquaternary amines, imidazolinium quaternary amines, or combinationsthereof.

The synthetic surfactant can also comprise an amphoteric surfactant.Suitable amphoteric surfactants can include those that are broadlydescribed as derivatives of aliphatic secondary and tertiary amines, inwhich the aliphatic radical can be straight or branched chain andwherein one of the aliphatic substituents contains from about 8 to about18 carbon atoms and one contains an anionic water solubilizing group,e.g., carboxy, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate, or phosphonate. Examplesof compounds falling within this definition can include sodium3-dodecyl-aminopropionate, sodium 3-dodecylaminopropane sulfonate,sodium lauryl sarcosinate, N-alkyltaurines such as the one prepared byreacting dodecylamine with sodium isethionate according to the teachingof U.S. Pat. No. 2,658,072, N-higher alkyl aspartic acids such as thoseproduced according to the teaching of U.S. Pat. No. 2,438,091, and theproducts described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,528,378. The surfactant includedin the personal care composition can comprise, for example, anamphoteric surfactant that can be selected from the group consisting ofsodium lauroamphoacetate, sodium cocoamphoactetate, disodiumlauroamphoacetate disodium cocodiamphoacetate, and mixtures thereof.

The synthetic surfactant can also comprise a zwitterionic surfactant.Suitable zwitterionic surfactants can include, for example, those thatare broadly described as derivatives of aliphatic quaternary ammonium,phosphonium, and sulfonium compounds, in which the aliphatic radicalscan be straight or branched chain, and wherein one aliphatic substituentcontains from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms and one contains ananionic group, e.g., carboxy, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate, orphosphonate. In one example, the zwitterionic surfactant included in thecomposition can comprise one or more betaines such as cocoamidopropylbetaine.

The surfactant may also comprise a soap. The composition can include,for example, from about 20% to about 99.5%, from about 20% to about 75%,from about 20% to about 50%, or any combination thereof, by weight ofthe composition, of a soap.

The soap can include, for example, alkali metal or alkanol ammoniumsalts of alkane- or alkene monocarboxylic acids. Sodium, magnesium,potassium, calcium, mono-, di- and tri-ethanol ammonium cations, orcombinations thereof, can be suitable. In one example, the soapcomprises a sodium soap. In another example, the soap comprises a sodiumsoap and from about 1% to about 25% of at least one of ammonium,potassium, magnesium, and calcium soap. Suitable soaps can also includethe well-known alkali metal salts of alkanoic or alkenoic acids havingfrom about 12 to 22 carbon atoms, from about 12 to about 18 carbonatoms; or alkali metal carboxylates of alkyl or alkene hydrocarbonshaving from about 12 to about 22 carbon atoms.

The composition can also include soaps having a fatty acid distributionof coconut oil that can provide a lower end of a broad molecular weightrange or a fatty acid distribution of peanut or rapeseed oil, or theirhydrogenated derivatives, which can provide an upper end of the broadmolecular weight range.

A soap in the composition can also include, for example, a fatty aciddistribution of tallow and/or vegetable oil. The tallow can includefatty acid mixtures that typically have an approximate carbon chainlength distribution of 2.5% C14, 29% C16, 23% C18, 2% palmitoleic, 41.5%oleic, and 3% linoleic. The tallow can also include other mixtures withsimilar distribution, such as the fatty acids derived from variousanimal tallows and/or lard. According to one example, the tallow canalso be hardened (i.e., hydrogenated) to convert part or all of theunsaturated fatty acid moieties to saturated fatty acid moieties.

Suitable vegetable oil can be selected, for example, from the groupconsisting of palm oil, coconut oil, palm kernel oil, palm oil stearine,and hydrogenated rice bran oil, and mixtures thereof. In one example,the vegetable oil is selected from the group consisting of palm oilstearine, palm kernel oil, coconut oil, and combinations thereof.Suitable coconut oil can include a proportion of fatty acids having 12carbon atoms or more of about 85%. Such a proportion can be greater whenmixtures of coconut oil and fats such as tallow, palm oil, ornon-tropical nut oils or fats are used where the principle chain lengthscan be C16 and higher. According to one example, the soap included inthe composition can be a sodium soap having a mixture of about 67-68%tallow, about 16-17 coconut oil, and about 2% glycerin, and about 14%water.

Soap is often made by a classic kettle boiling process or moderncontinuous soap manufacturing processes wherein natural fats and oilssuch as tallow or coconut oil or their equivalents can be saponifiedwith an alkali metal hydroxide using procedures well known to thoseskilled in the art. Alternatively, the soaps can be made by neutralizingfatty acids such as lauric (C12), myristic (C14), palmitic (C16), orstearic (C18) acids with an alkali metal hydroxide or carbonate.

The personal care composition also comprises a hygroscopic fine,hygroscopic fiber, or a hygroscopic filament. The composition cancontain from about 3% to about 40%, by weight of the composition, of thefine, fiber, or filament. Additional acceptable levels can include fromabout 5% to about 35%, from about 10% to about 30%, or from about 15% toabout 25%, by weight of the composition. A filament comprises fibers andfines. A filament can comprise from about 1% to about 95%, by weight ofthe filament, of fines, and from about 99% to about 5%, by weight of thefilament, of fibers; or from about 20% to about 90%, by weight of thefilament, of fines, and from about 80% to about 10%, by weight of thefilament, of fibers; or from about 50% to about 70%, by weight of thefilament, of fines, and from about 50% to about 30%, by weight of thefilament, of fibers. A filament may comprise a single type of fiber ormultiple types of fibers. A filament may likewise comprise a single typeof fine or multiple types of fines.

A fine, fiber, or filament may be, for example, natural, like from aplant or animal, modified natural, or a combination thereof. Examples ofanimal fines, fibers, or filaments may include wool, silk, and mixturesthereof. Plant fines, fibers, or filaments may, for example, be derivedfrom a plant like wood, bark, oat, corn, cotton, cotton linters, flax,sisal, abaca, hemp, hesperaloe, jute, bamboo, bagasse, kudzu, corn,sorghum, gourd, agave, loofah, or mixtures thereof. One further exampleof a plant fine, fiber, or filament is a cellulose fine, fiber, orfilament. Another exemplary fine, fiber, or filament comprises aregenerated cellulose, like rayon.

Wood pulp fines, fibers, or filaments may include, for example, hardwoodpulp or softwood pulp. Non-limiting examples of hardwood pulp filamentsinclude filaments derived from a fiber source selected from the groupconsisting of: Acacia, Eucalyptus, Maple, Oak, Aspen, Birch, Cottonwood,Alder, Ash, Cherry, Elm, Hickory, Poplar, Gum, Walnut, Locust, Sycamore,Beech, Catalpa, Sassafras, Gmelina, Albizia, Anthocephalus, andMagnolia. Non-limiting examples of softwood filaments include filamentsderived from a fiber source selected from the group consisting of: Pine,Spruce, Fir, Tamarack, Hemlock, Cypress, and Cedar.

A fine, fiber, or filament may also be synthetic. Some examples ofsuitable synthetic hygroscopic fibers, fines, or filaments includenylon, polyester, polyvinyl alcohol, starch, starch derivatives, pectin,chitin, chitosan, cellulose derivatives such as methylcellulose,hydroxypropylcellulose, alkoxy celluloses, or a combination thereof.

The fibers will have a length and diameter. The fibers may have a lengthweighted average of about 6 cm or less, about 5 cm or less, about 2 cmor less, about 1 cm or less, about 8 mm or less, about 6 mm or less,about 4 mm or less, about 3 mm or less, about 2 mm or less, or about 1mm or less. The fibers may have an average diameter of about 15 μm,about 20 μm, to about 35 μm, to about 40 μm, or any combination thereof.Fiber length can be used to help determine whether a particular fiberwill require more energy to be mixed into a composition. For example,fiber lengths of greater than 1.0 mm were found to require more energythan desired to mix into a composition. Thus, fiber length values ofless than 1.0 mm can be used where lower levels of energy are desired toincorporate the fiber into a composition.

The fibers may also have a kink angle. Fiber “kink” is a measurement ofan abrupt change in the curvature of a fiber and is defined by themodified Kibblewhite's Kink Index. The angle of this abrupt change isdefined as the “kink angle”. Kink angle will affect the volume one fibercan occupy, essentially a fiber with a higher kink angle will occupygreater volume filling space more efficiently, this will affect thelevel of fiber needed to meet the desired compliance value. Exemplaryfibers for use herein can have a kink angle or about 35 to about 65,about 40 to about 60, about 45 to about 55, or any combination thereof.

Another property of fibers is the shape factor. The shape factordescribes the ratio of the fiber end to end distance as projected inspace and the fiber length as measured along the fiber. For instance, astraight fiber will have a high shape factor, since the end to enddistance approaches the value of the length along the fiber, while acurly fiber will have a low shape factor. Exemplary fibers for useherein can have a shape factor of about 70 to about 95.

One more property of a fiber is the curl value. The curl value describesthe degree of non-straightness of a fiber. The STFI FiberMaster uses thefollowing equation to calculate curl values: Curl value=[(100/ShapeFactor)−1]*100. Exemplary fibers for use herein can have a curl value ofabout 10 to about 25.

Fines have a greater surface area and are able to retain more solventthan higher aspect ratio fibers. Thus, fines can be used to help tunethe composition or article to the desired compliance value. Fines canalso be useful in formulating a composition that will be used up overtime. Fines that are smaller than the opening in a substrate can beseparated from the composition during use and exit the article throughthe substrate openings allowing the composition to become smaller duringuse and helping to signal the end of the life of the composition orarticle.

Fines may include both primary and secondary fines. Primary fines arenaturally produced by the plant or animal source. Secondary fines arederived from fibers, meaning they start as fibers and then are processedinto smaller pieces. Secondary fines may be derived, for example, from anatural fiber, like a plant fiber or animal fiber, a modified naturalfiber, or a combination thereof. The fiber sources listed above aresuitable for their primary fines or for their fibers to be convertedinto secondary fines and used herein. For example, a fine may comprisecellulose.

An analysis of the impact of filament properties on the compliance 50.5hrs after use was conducted using compliance values for examples D7-D10(below) and the corresponding properties of the corresponding filamentexamples HG3-HG6. These examples were selected for analysis of filamentand compliance structure property relationships since other compositionvariables were maintained constant.

The analysis indicates that for a fixed wt % of filament in thecomposition (20% for these examples), filament characteristics like %fines, aspect ratio, length, kink/mm, shape factor, and curl value canbe used to modify the compliance of an article 50.5 hrs after use. Thus,the selection of filament properties can be used to enable a broaderrange of surfactant systems and concentrations to maintain desiredcompliant properties. For instance, surfactants with a highercrystallinity have a tendency to have a more rigid structure when in adried composition. This tendency, however, can combated by selecting afilament with properties that tend to help lower compliance of acomposition. These properties are shown in a regression model in FIGS.10-15.

So, as shown in the regression models, selection of a filament with anyof the following properties: lower aspect ratio, shorter length, higherfines %, greater number of kinks/mm, greater shape factor, and/orgreater curl value, has a tendency to give a lower compliancecomposition. Thus, a more crystalline surfactant system could be pairedwith a filament having one or a combination of those properties in orderto balance the more rigid nature of the surfactant system and arrive atan acceptable compliance after drying. Conversely, a less crystallinesurfactant system could be paired with filaments having any of thefollowing: higher aspect ratio, longer length, lower fines %, lowernumber of kinks/mm, lower shape factor, and/or lower curl value, tobalance the more fluid nature of this type of surfactant system toarrive at an acceptable compliance after drying.

Certain advantages and disadvantages are present with filament propertyselection. For example, the use of a filament with shorter fibers and ahigh fines content enables facile mixing with the surfactant system,however examples D6-D14 indicate that a higher wt % of such filamentsmay be needed to achieve a desired compliance. Conversely, filamentscomprised of longer fibers and a lower wt % of fines can achieve desiredcompliance values at lower wt % in the composition. However, filamentswith longer fibers and lower fines % are more difficult to process andrequire more energy to mix with surfactant systems. Thus, theseproperties can also be considered when formulating a personal carecomposition.

The composition may also comprise a solvent. Solvents for use herein caninclude, for example, water glycerin, dipropylene glycol, soybean oil,sucrose polyesters, or combinations thereof. Solvent can be present, forexample, in an amount of about 5% to about 50%, about 10% to about 45%,about 15% to about 40%, about 20% to about 35%, or any combinationthereof, by weight of the composition.

The composition disclosed herein can also include one or more additionalingredients such as polymers, gums, pluronics, inorganic salts such aszinc carbonate, antimicrobial agents such as zinc pyrithione, actives,brighteners, silica, moisturizers or benefit agents, and emulsifiers.

The composition will also have a consumption rate as measured by theConsumption Test. The composition may have a consumption, for example,of about 0.25 g to about 14 g per use; about 0.5 g to about 8 g per use;about 0.5 g to about 7 g per use; or about 0.5 g to about 6 g per use.

Personal Care Articles

The above described personal care compositions may also be part of apersonal care article. A personal care article comprises a substrate anda personal care composition. A personal care article may contain fromabout 40% to about 99.6%, by weight of the article, of a personal carecomposition. Additional acceptable ranges of composition include fromabout 50% to about 99% or from about 75% to about 98%, by weight of thearticle. A substrate may at least partially surround a composition or itmay surround a composition. The personal care article may also comprisemultiple substrates. A substrate may be adjacent to a composition,another substrate, or a combination thereof. A personal care article maycomprise a contact substrate, non-contact substrate, or combinationsthereof. Contact substrates are those on the exterior of the articlelikely to make direct contact with the target surface, while non-contactsubstrates are those not likely to make contact with the target surface.A personal care article may be used, for example, on skin, hair, orboth. A personal care article may also be used, for example, forcleansing of the skin, cleansing of the hair, shave preparation, postshave treatment, or a combination thereof. A personal care article maybe a personal cleansing article. A personal care article may also bereusable.

Adding a substrate to a personal care composition can present its ownchallenges. A substrate can change the amount of water available to thecomposition at the outset which can impact lather, rate of consumption,and surfactant release. A substrate can also change the dynamics withthe composition during use. For example, the substrate can retain waterin close proximity to the composition. It can also impact thecomposition after use by, for example, limiting the exposure of thecomposition to the air to inhibit drying after use. All of these factorscan be considered when creating a personal care article and theproperties of the composition and the article are balanced so that thearticle has the desired characteristics. This is especially true wherethe composition and/or article are to be compliant throughout thelifetime of the article.

A personal care article can be compliant. For example, if the article isa personal care article for cleansing the skin, then the article willbend to some degree to more fully contact a curved body part like thearm. Thus, if the personal care article is originally flat with nocurve, when applied to the arm for cleansing there would be some amountof bend to better conform to the arm. Oppositely, if the originalarticle is curved such that it would not need to bend to conform to acurved surface like the arm, then it would bend to straighten whenapplied to a less curved surface like the abdomen. An article may befully compliant meaning it is capable of completely conforming to thesurface to which it is applied.

Compliance of a personal care article can be measured according to theCompliance Test described in more detail below. A personal care articlecan comprise a compliance value of about 1.50 kg/mm or less. Additionalexamples of suitable compliance values include from about 0.01 kg/mm toabout 1.5 kg/mm; from about 0.03 kg/mm to about 1.0 kg/mm; about 0.10kg/mm to about 0.75 mm/kg; about 0.10 kg/mm to about 0.6 kg/mm; about0.05 kg/mm to about 0.5 kg/mm; or about 0.1 kg/mm to about 0.3 kg/mm.

The article and/or composition can become compliant after exposure towater. Thus, a non-compliant article or composition may, after exposureto a liquid, like water, during use, become compliant. If an article orcomposition becomes compliant by the end of a second simulated use, thenit is considered compliant.

A perspective view of a person care article 10 according to one exampleis shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a personal care article10 can comprise a water penetrable first substrate 12 and a personalcare composition 14, wherein the water penetrable first substrate 12 isadjacent to the personal care composition 14. The water penetrable firstsubstrate 12 at least partially surrounds the composition 14. In oneexample, as shown in FIG. 4, a single piece of water penetrablesubstrate 12 has been wrapped around the personal care composition 14and sealed (not shown).

In another example, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3A, a personal carearticle 10 comprises a personal care composition 14, a first substrate22 adjacent to the personal care composition 14, and a second substrate24 adjacent to the personal care composition 14. In one example depictedin FIG. 3A, the seal 16 joining the first and second substrates (22, 24)is only visible on the ends, but actually goes all the way around thepersonal care composition 14. The first and second substrates (22, 24)may, however, be sealed in other configurations, or, may only bepartially sealed so as to form, for example, a pouch. The first andsecond substrates (22, 24) may be the same or different.

As can be seen in FIGS. 6 and 7, another exemplary form of sealinginvolves forming a continuous seal 50 internal to the periphery of thearticle, where the periphery of the article is sealed in a discontinuousmanner 60. The continuous seal 50 internal to the periphery of thearticle prevents bulk loss of composition from the article and providessufficient seal strength for maintaining the integrity of the articlethroughout consumer use. Locating the continuous seal 50 internal to thearticle periphery is advantageous in that a sealed land area creates athin hard surface, relative to the inherent substrate properties. Thisthin hard seal surface when located on the article periphery can causescratching when used by the consumer. The article periphery can also beleft unsealed leaving the distinct substrate layers separate, thisresult in an unfinished appearance which is not consumer preferred.Having a discontinuous seal 60 on the periphery of the article providesa high quality finished appearance that is consumer preferred whileeliminating the formation of a thin hard surface on the periphery of thearticle. For instance, a 4 mm wide discontinuous seal can be createdalong the periphery of the article, with the discontinuous pattern being1 mm by 1 mm squares spaced 2 mm apart. In addition, internal to thearticle periphery, a 1 mm continuous seal can be created. Duringmanufacturing the article can be trimmed within the discontinuous sealcreating a finished article with the desired discontinuous seal widthwhile reducing the risk of inadvertently trimming in the continuous sealarea and creating an opening for bulk loss of composition from thearticle.

In another example only a discontinuous seal 60 may be present along thearticles periphery. In this example the pattern and width of the sealare designed to restrict bulk loss of composition from the article.

In an additional example, a seal may be continuous, but interrupted (notshown).

In another example, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3B, a personal carearticle 10 comprises a personal care composition 14 having a first side18 and a second side 20. A first substrate 22 is adjacent to the firstside 18, while a second substrate 24 is adjacent to the second side 20.In one example depicted in FIG. 3A, the seal 16 joining the first andsecond substrates (22, 24) is only visible on the ends, but actuallygoes all the way around the personal care composition 14. In addition, afirst water insoluble substrate 26 is adjacent to the first substrate 22and a second water insoluble substrate 28 is adjacent to the secondsubstrate 24. The first and second water insoluble substrates (26, 28)may be the same or different. Like the seal of the first and secondsubstrate (22, 24), while only visible on the ends, the seal 16 of thefirst and second water insoluble substrates (26, 28) goes all the wayaround the personal care composition 14. The seal 16 of the first andsecond water insoluble substrate (26, 28) may, however, be sealed inother configurations, or, may only be partially sealed so as to form,for example, a pouch.

The personal care article may also comprise a chamber 40, as seen, forexample, in FIGS. 3A and 3B. A chamber is an open area between asubstrate and a personal care composition or between a substrate andanother substrate, where the substrate is not touching the personal carecomposition or the other substrate. The substrate(s) may be flexiblesuch that they touch the composition (or another substrate) in someareas and not others. The areas where the substrate is touching or nottouching the composition or other substrate may shift as thesubstrate(s) and composition shift during handling and/or use.

The personal care article can include from about 0.5% to about 25,000%,by weight of total substrate(s), of a personal care composition. In oneexample, the article comprises greater than 3,500%, by weight of thetotal substrate(s), of a composition. In other examples, the articlecomprises greater than 4,000%, by weight of the total substrate(s), of acomposition; greater than 4,250%, by weight of the total substrate(s),of a composition; greater than 4,500%, by weight of the totalsubstrate(s), of a composition; greater than 4,750%, by weight of thetotal substrate(s), of a composition; greater than 5,000%, by weight ofthe total substrate(s), of a composition; or any combination thereof.

The personal care article may be in any suitable shape, for example,oval, square, rectangular, circular, triangular, hour glass, hexagonal,c-shaped, etc. Furthermore, the article can be sized based upon thedesired use and characteristics of the article. An article can range insurface area size, for example, from about a square inch to abouthundreds of square inches. An article can also have a surface area of,for example, about 5 in² to about 200 in², from about 6 in² to about 120in², or from about 15 in² to about 100 in². An article may also have acertain thickness, for example, of from about 0.5 mm to about 50 mm,from about 1 mm to about 25 mm, or preferably from about 2 mm to about20 mm. There may also be multiple compositions within zones in thearticle. These are described more fully in U.S. Pat. App. Pub. Nos.2013/0043145, 2013/0043146, and 2013/0043147.

The article will also have a consumption rate as measured by theConsumption Test. The composition may have a consumption, for example,of about 0.5 g to about 14 g per use; about 0.5 g to about 8 g per use;about 0.5 g to about 7 g per use; or about 0.5 g to about 6 g per use.

A substrate can also comprise a feature. Substrate features can include,for example, design elements such as shapes and letters. Substratefeatures may reside, for example, within the land portions, the surfaceaberrations, or a combination thereof and may be located in plane, aboveplane, or below plane, or combinations thereof relative to either theland portion or surface aberration. Substrates with features out ofplane with both the land and surface aberration portions are consideredmultiplanar substrates. Examples of features can be seen in FIGS. 8 (the“O”'s) and 9 (the stars).

The article 10 may further comprise a hanger 100, see FIG. 1. A hanger100 will allow the article 10 to be suspended. Suitable hangers caninclude chords, hooks, loops, twines, strings, elastic bands, etc. andcan comprise synthetic /and or natural materials including fibers, andcan be molded such as injection molded. A hanger may be a single pieceor multiple pieces fastened together. The multiple pieces could havecorresponding male and female elements and the fastening mechanismscould include, for example, snaps, buttons, hook and eye, etc.

The article may also further comprise a use indicator 110, see FIG. 1. Ause indicator 110 will help signify to a user when the article 10 hasreached or is reaching the end of its useful life. A use indicator cantake the form of, for example, a strip which changes color as thearticle is used. Additional examples of use indicators can includeprinted inks, dyes, pigments, slot or spray coated polymers containing,for example, inks, dyes or pigments.

A. Substrate

A personal care article can comprise at least one substrate. Thesubstrate can enhance cleansing and therapeutic treatment of a surfacesuch as skin and/or hair. For example, by physically coming into contactwith the skin and/or hair, the substrate can aid in the cleansing andremoval of dirt, makeup, dead skin, and other debris such that thesubstrate can act as an efficient lathering and/or exfoliating implementbut can also be non-abrasive to the skin. A substrate can be a composite(i.e., there are multiple plies to the substrate which may be of thesame or different materials). In one example, the substrate can be waterinsoluble. In other examples, the substrate can be water penetrable.However, the personal care article can comprise both water penetrablesubstrates and water insoluble substrates.

Substrates can be arranged in many different configurations on anarticle. Some examples of these configurations can be found, forexample, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,491,928; U.S. Pat. App. Pub. Nos.2013/0043146; 2012/0246851; 2013/0043145; and 2013/0043147.

A substrate can at least partially surround one or more personal carecompositions. In other examples, a substrate can entirely surround oneor more personal care compositions. A substrate can be in the form of apouch, pocket, wrap, or any other suitable configuration. A substratecould also at least partially surround or be adjacent to anothersubstrate, and/or entirely surround another substrate.

The substrate can be, for example, a formed film, like a vacuum formedfilm. The substrate could be a nonwoven (i.e., a natural or syntheticnonwoven including fibrous and nonfibrous nonwovens), which cantypically have land regions (i.e., regions that do not allow waterand/or personal care composition to pass through) and openings; a woven;a film (e.g., a formed film); a sponge, which can include a naturaland/or synthetic sponge (e.g., polymeric mesh sponge), examples of whichcan include those described in European Patent Application No. EP702550A1 published Mar. 27, 1996; a polymeric netted mesh (i.e., a“scrim”), examples of which can include those described in U.S. Pat. No.4,636,419; a batting; spunbond; spunlace; hydroentangled; carded;needlepunch; or any other suitable material. In certain examples, thesubstrate can be a composite material that can include, for example, oneor more plies of the same or different materials such as nonwovens,wovens, films, sponges, scrims, battings, and the like superimposedphysically, joined together continuously (e.g., laminated, etc.) in adiscontinuous pattern, or by bonding at the external edges (orperiphery) of the substrate and/or at discrete loci. Suitable examplesfor each type of substrate and other suitable substrate materials aredescribed in U.S. Pat. App. Pub. No. 2012/0246851.

Parameters to consider when selecting substrates (e.g., formed films)can include thickness, pattern, polymer stiffness, and permeability.Additional information on such parameters is also described in U.S. Pat.App. Pub. No. 2012/0246851.

A substrate can include one or more openings such that water, thepersonal care composition, and/or lather, for example, can pass throughthe substrate. In one example, where a permeable substrate can beadjacent to the personal care composition, water can pass through thewater permeable substrate to interact with the personal carecomposition. As the personal care composition dissolves, it can thenalso pass through the substrate to be delivered to a target surface(e.g., skin).

In one example, permeability of openings can be selected based on adissolution half-life of a personal care composition and a desiredreusability of the article. For example, when the dissolution half-lifeof the personal care composition is high, a higher level of permeabilitycan be selected to counteract the high dissolution half-life and providea desirable consumption rate for the article. Alternatively, when thedissolution half-life of the personal care composition is low, thepermeability of the one or more openings or can be lower and stillprovide a desirable consumption rate for the article. A substrate caninclude, for example, a permeability of about 1 opening/cm² or greater,about 10 openings/cm² or greater, about 100 openings/cm² or greater,about 500 openings/cm² or greater, about 1,000 openings/cm² or greater,about 1,500 openings/cm² or greater, or any combination thereof.

The openings can be apertures. For example, the one or more openings caninclude well-defined apertures such as microapertures or macroapertures,holes, perforations, cavities, raised or depressed fibrous and/ornonfibrous regions, gaps between regions, and the like that can enable,for example, water and/or the personal care composition to pass throughthe substrate.

A substrate can be a contact substrate, which can be a substrate forcontacting a target surface (e.g., skin). A substrate can also be anoncontact substrate. Noncontact substrates, for example, can be used tohelp give a personal care article a desired consumption rate, softness,lather properties, etc.

A substrate may also comprise a surface aberration 70, as can be seen inFIGS. 8 and 9. A surface aberration can be a raised portion on a surfaceof a substrate. It can be readily apparent to the naked eye and can forma geometric pattern on a substrate. In one example, the geometricpattern does not require registration on the assembled article.

Surface aberrations can be from about 700 μm to about 7000 μm in height(the z-direction). Surface aberrations can also be macroapertured.

The surface aberrations provide thickness without itself being a singlepore, while the conventional portions of the substrate can provide alarger number of pores to promote lather generation. Particularly,multiplanar substrates with a thickness from about 700 μm to about 7000μm can allow for enough water, surfactant, and air to pass through suchthat the sufficient lather can be generated.

Surface aberrations can also provide an exfoliation benefit. In order toprovide exfoliation with a monoplaner film you need to create pores witha large diameter, in order to achieve a significant z-dimension. Thisconcentrates the applied force over a smaller contact area with theskin, making the substrate feel scratchy. Conversely, multiplanar filmscontain surface aberrations with larger z-dimensions. These surfaceaberrations contribute to the exfoliating properties of the film andmore directly control the surface area over which the applied force isdistributed, reducing the scratchy perception of the substrate.Additionally, by incorporating a minimum number of pores per squareinch, about 10 (local), the issue with a scratchy feel related to poresize can also be abated.

Land area of a substrate can impact consumer acceptance of the product.For example, consumers can view films with larger amounts (e.g. about55% or more) of land area as looking too much like plastic. In order tocombat this consumer perception, a substrate may include more surfaceaberration area (e.g. about 45% or more).

A substrate may include about 45%, about 50%, about 55%, about 60%,about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, to about 50%, about 55%, about 60%,about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about95%, about 98%, or any combination thereof, of surface aberration area.The amount of surface aberration area and land area can be determined bymeasuring the dimensions geometrically in the X-Y (flat planar)direction for the unit cell of the substrates for their planarprojection, for example, with a ruler or a caliper. It may be convenientto use a magnifying technique to measure fine dimensions. Surfaceaberration and land area can be estimated from geometries of processingequipment used to make the structures, which are usually known fromdesign, although these are only estimates since substrates can shrink orstretch during subsequent processing. Thus, land area and surfaceaberration area are expressed as a percentage of land (or surfaceaberration) area within a unit cell divided by the total area of theunit cell. Where the pattern on the substrate is irregular such that nounit cell exists, the percentage of land or surface aberration area isexpressed as the amount of land (or surface aberration) area of thearticle surface utilizing the substrate pattern in question divided bythe total area of the article surface utilizing the substrate pattern inquestion. A surface aberration can be part of a unit cell which isgenerally the smallest repeating unit (other than pores, if applicable).The calculation is determined with the substrate oriented such that theprotuberances or pores are in the upward direction, pointing normal tothe viewing plane. For instance a circular aberration motif with adiameter of 0.25 mm and a unit cell area of 0.625 mm² would have apercentage surface area of aberration of approximately 7.85%.

Too much surface aberration area can impact the integrity of a substrateand can, for example, lower the resistance of the substrate to tearing.Thus, the amount of surface aberration area can be balanced amongscratchiness, consumer acceptable look, and longevity based on thedesired properties of the substrate.

Surface aberrations can be permanent deformations in a substrate, suchthat after they are formed, no force is required to maintain the raisedor depressed state. Surface aberrations can be formed through a process,like, vacuum forming, for example. So, actions like cinching andgathering do not generally form surface aberrations, but puckers in asubstrate. These surface aberrations may also contain pores 80. To forma plane, as discussed below, at least some of the surface aberrationswill contain at least three protuberances that are not in a row. Asurface aberration can have up to about 250,000 protuberances on itssurface. A surface aberration can form a pattern or design. For example,the surface aberrations 70 in FIG. 8 are circles and form a repeatingpattern, while the surface aberrations 70 in FIG. 9 are hexagons andform a repeating pattern. Surface aberrations can have an area of, forexample, about 0.005 cm² or more, about 0.01 cm² or more, or about 0.07or more.

As can be seen in FIGS. 8 and 9, surface aberrations 70 have edgesconnecting their surface to the base substrate. These edges are formedduring processing of the substrate to make the surface aberrations.During processes like vacuum forming, these edges maintain a similarthickness to that of the substrate before processing. This can help withstability of the substrate when it is processed into rolls. Someprocesses, like those used to form embossments and debossments, stretchthe substrate resulting in edges to the embossments and debossments thatare thinner than that of the substrate before processing which can causeissues with stability of the substrate when processing into rolls fortransport.

A substrate can also comprise a feature. Substrate features can include,for example, design elements such as shapes and letters. Substratefeatures may reside, for example, within the land portions, the surfaceaberrations, or a combination thereof and may be located in plane, aboveplane, or below plane, or combinations thereof relative to either theland portion or surface aberration. Substrates with features out ofplane with both the land and surface aberration portions are consideredmultiplanar substrates. Examples of features can be seen in FIGS. 8 (the“O”'s) and 9 (the stars).

Surface roughness can be added in the land area, in the portion ofsurface aberration areas that are closed, and/or on features, ofsubstrates. Creating surface roughness results in a reduction of thegloss of the substrate surface which corresponds to a preferred consumerappearance. Gloss values can be, for example, less than about 3.5 orless than about 2.5.

A substrate can be multiplanar. For example, see FIGS. 8 and 9, wherethere is a first plane (P1) which is defined by land area on the surfaceaberrations 70 and a second plane (P2) which is defined by the land areaof the base film. A second plane can be, for example, contiguous andrepeating and generally non-porous. The second plane can generally beflat or can be flattened merely by placing the substrate on a table. Thetransition from first plane to second plane (70 in FIG. 8B) can bediscrete as in FIGS. 8B and 9B which depict 90 degree angles or thetransition can be stepped, tapered or occur at an angle less than about90 degrees but greater than 0 degrees. A first plane can be, forexample, discontinuous like in FIGS. 8 and 9. The first plane can beflat, raised, or even curved, so that it is not planar in the formalgeometric sense, and is used to describe a base region from whichprotrusions can be raised and generally extends in an orthogonaldirection to the protrusions and is the same plane as the original filmfrom which the protrusions were raised. Surface aberrations which aresimilar (in the geometric sense) are considered to be in the same planeeven if they are not connected to one another. Where the surfaceaberrations are dissimilar (for example, different heights from theplane of the original film), then they can create multiple planes.

Features 200, which can be continuous or discrete, can be added to thesubstrate and can represent additional planes or even add texture, forexample patterns like starts, squares, logos can be embossed onto thesubstrate. Features 200 can also be at the same level of an existingplane, so can be considered part of an existing plane, and not anadditional plane. A formed film is considered a planar substrate. A sealon a substrate is usually on such a similar level to an existing planethat it is considered as part of the existing plane and not creating anadditional plane.

Some examples of suitable substrates are included below.

Test Methods

a) Compliance Test

To measure the compliance of an article or composition prior to use, usea Texture Analyzer TA-XT2i (Texture Technologies Corp, NY, USA) equippedwith at least a 5 kg load cell and a 0.75 inch ball probe at ambientconditions. Start the test with the probe above but not in contact withthe article or composition and use a 2 gram trigger force to commencedata collection for both force and distance (i.e., the zero depth pointbegins at 2 gram-force). Measure a compressive force (kg) at acompression rate of 1 mm/sec over a depth of 5 mm, ensuring that thepersonal care article or composition form a flat surface over contactarea with the ball probe, near the center of the article or composition.Repeat measurements as needed (e.g., at least 3 times) to obtain arepresentative average value. To determine the compliance of the articleor composition divide the maximum observed force (kg) by the maximumcompression depth (5 mm). When using a 5 kg load cell some samples mayexceed capacity, in this case the maximum compression depth will be lessthan the set depth of 5 mm, specified in the procedure. Compliance ofthe article includes a measured force contribution of both thecomposition and substrate components. If thick or lofty substrates areused such that the probe does not substantially engage a compositioncomponent, or if the composition is distributed heterogeneously, thetest is performed in a region and to a depth such that the compositioncomponent is a substantial contributor to the measured compliance. Forexample, if thick or lofty substrates are used in an article, thetrigger force can be increased until the zero point is within at leastabout 0.5 mm of the composition.

To measure compliance after a simulated bath/shower use a rotary tumbler(Lortone, Inc., Seattle, Wash., USA model 33B or equivalent) with 4 in.diameter by 4 in. deep cylindrical rubber housing having 825 cc internalvolume. The housing revolves on the tumbler at 43 rpm. Obtain a supplyof water at about 7.5 grains water hardness and conductivity between 100to not more than 400 microSemens per centimeter (μS/cm) and heat in areservoir beaker to 45° C. Maintain the water reservoir at the targettemperature within 1 degree. Add 200.0 gm of water from the reservoir tothe housing. Weigh an article or composition to obtain the initialweight, and add the article or composition to the housing. Seal thehousing with its accompanying watertight lid and place the sealedhousing onto the rotary tumbler for 3 minutes. Remove the housing,remove the housing lid, and retrieve the article or composition.

Hang the article or composition to dry under controlled temperature(20-25° C.) and relative humidity (50-60%) with no direct aircirculation applied to articles. Take compliance measurements as afunction of time. The first time point after simulated use should be nosooner than 5 min after the product has been removed from the rotarytumbler and hung to dry. The final time point can be taken at any pointas desired or instructed. For example, the final point can be takenafter 15 minutes of drying after one use; after 20 minutes of dryingafter one use; after 30 minutes of drying after one use; after 60minutes of drying after one use; after 3 hours of drying after one use;after 5 hours of drying after one use; after 12 hours of drying afterone use; after 25 hours of drying after one use; or after 48 hours ofdrying after one use. When measuring compliance after multiple simulateduses, dry the composition or article for 5 minutes between eachsimulated use and after the final simulated use, unless the drying timeis otherwise specified. For example, to measure compliance after 2simulated uses, the composition would be put through a simulated usecycle, dried for 5 minutes, put through the second simulated use cycle,dried for 5 minutes and then the compliance measured.

b) Dissolution Rate Test

Obtain a straight walled glass beaker having an inside diameter (i.d.)of 63 mm and an inside height of 87 mm, (e.g., Pyrex 250 mL (No. 1000)which are widely available). Pour 150 grams of distilled water atambient temperature (75° F.) into the beaker and add a Teflon® coatedmagnetic stir bar to the beaker. (Note: The stir bar can be nominally1.5 inches long× 5/16 inches diameter, octagonally-shaped as viewed fromthe end, and can have a 1/16 in. wide molded pivot ring around itscenter where the diameter can be about 0.35 in.) Examples of a suitablestir bar can include Spinbar® magnetic stir bars available from SigmaAldrich Corp. worldwide including Milwaukee, Wis., USA and atwww.sigmaaldrich.com.

Measure and record the water conductivity of the water using aconductivity meter (e.g., a Mettler-Toledo SevenMulti meter withInLab740 probe). (Note: The conductivity of the water should be about 2microSemens/cm (uS/cm) or less to indicate a low level of dissolvedsolids present.) Remove the conductivity probe from the water and placethe beaker onto a digitally controlled laboratory stirrer, for exampleIka® Werke RET Control-visc available (e.g., from DivTech Equipment Co,Cincinnati, Ohio, USA). Center the beaker on the stirrer and turn thestirrer on to obtain a constant rotation speed of 500 rpm to establish avortex in the water which measures about 3 cm depth from highest pointof water at the beaker edge to lowest point of air at the vortex center.Observe the vortex from above to ensure the beaker is centered and thatthe magnetic stir bar is centered in the vortex. Weigh 1.0 grams of acomposition pressed or formed together as a single unit and add it tothe water near the beaker edge but not touching the beaker edge. Begin atimer and allow the water with composition to stir for 1 minute.

Turn off the stirrer. Insert the conductivity probe into the water in alocation away from any undissolved material. Allow a measurement tostabilize for a few seconds and record conductivity. Turn the stirrerback on. Restart the timer as the digital readout passes 250 rpm. Afteran additional 1 minute has elapsed, turn off the stirrer and measure andrecord conductivity in the same manner as above. Turn the stirrer backon. Restart the timer as the digital readout passes 250 rpm. Repeat theprocess until a conductivity reading has been obtained every minute ofstirring, for 5 minutes.

After taking a 5 minute conductivity reading, cap the beaker with asuitable watertight cover (e.g., plastic wrap). Shake the beakervigorously for about 1 minute to dissolve remaining solids, using avortex type agitator and/or mild heating in addition if necessary untilall soluble components are observed dissolved by visible inspection.Cool the solution to less than 80° F. prior to the final measurement.Uncap the beaker, measure conductivity and record the value as a finalconductivity.

Calculate the fractional dissolution (f) at each time point by theequation: f=(conductivity−water conductivity)/(final conductivity−waterconductivity)

Calculate the dissolution half-life by fitting the fractionaldissolution time series (6 points from 0 to 5 minutes) to a second orderpolynomial and calculate an interpolated or extrapolated result for atime at which a composition is half dissolved (i.e., f=0.5).

Dissolution half-life can be a measure of the propensity of acomposition to resist solubilization by water. Bars of soap, forexample, can have a dissolution half-life of 21.1 minutes (Ivory®™Soap), exhibiting longevity and low consumption rate during use withouta need for substrates as barriers to permeability. Liquid body wash canhave a dissolution half-life of less than ½ minute and can be unsuitableas a composition for such articles.

c) Consumption Test

To measure the Consumption Rate of a personal care article orcomposition per simulated use as noted in this test method (not theCompliance test method), use a rotary tumbler (Lortone, Inc., Seattle,Wash., USA model 33B or equivalent) with a 4 in. diameter by 4 in. deepcylindrical rubber housing having 825 cc internal volume. The housingrevolves on the tumbler at 43 rpm. Obtain a supply of tap water at about7.5 grains water hardness and conductivity between 100 to not more than400 microSemens per centimeter (μS/cm) and heat in a reservoir beaker to45° C. Maintain the water supply at the target temperature within 1degree for the test duration. Add 200.0 g water from the reservoir tothe housing. Weigh an article or composition to obtain the initialweight, and add the article or composition to the housing. Seal thehousing with its accompanying watertight lid and place the sealedhousing onto the rotary tumbler for exactly 3 minutes. Remove thehousing, remove the housing lid, and retrieve the article orcomposition. Stir the remaining water in the housing for a few secondsand measure its conductivity and temperature using a Mettler ToledoSeven multimeter with InLab 740 probe or equivalent. Dry the article orcomposition surface by pressing, not rubbing, using paper towels withlight hand pressure for about 30 seconds, until it is dry to the touchand transfers no more visible water to a dry paper towel using the samepressure at any point on its surface or edges. If the article orcomposition transfers partially dissolved or dissolving components inaddition to liquid water (e.g., if a composition is a conventional barsoap it may transfer paste-like material), the transferred componentsare to be removed and the article or composition is considered dry whenvisible transfer is no longer evident. Weigh the article or composition.Repeat this with the same article or composition five times. Subtractthe weight after the fifth cycle from the weight after the second cycleand divide by 3 to obtain the consumption rate reported in units g/use.
